approved car seats and buc buckled in are safer than in the arms of a parent. ntsb says safest place for a child under two is in a car seat or restraint device. this parent agrees. >> safety is of top importance always for us. we wanted to make sure that she would be all good. >> reporter: and the airline industry says safety is always the top priority. we support and follow the federal government's guidelines regarding safety seats for children. one concern for some parents, cost. families on tight budgets could pay hundreds if not thousands more in airfares in the wake of turbulent flights, lawmakers face pressure to act. miguel almaguer, nbc news. a lot to cover in our second hour. let's get right to it.

at this hour, a mysterious explosion behind russian lines in annexed crimea, what we're hearing on the ground about who is responsible. and president biden announces major conservation action just moments ago. is it enough to get him back in the good graces of environmental groups? we'll have a live report. and in los angeles, that teacher strike is under way today which means for 420,000 students, no teachers, no bus drivers, no lunch, and no options for countless parents scrambling to find child care. and a small group of trump fans making a show of support on the bridge at mar-a-lago as the manhattan grand jury gets ready to reconvene tomorrow. our reporters are following all the latest developments. and we begin with vaughn hillyard near mar-a-lago. what is the scene like there today? obviously even though trump said

that he was going to get arrested today, that hasn't happened. but is there any sense of when i something might happen? >> reporter: and donald trump called for protests and for his supporters to come out and push back against this investigation. mar-a-lago is right over my left shoulder, this is where donald trump has remained the last three days. to our understanding he has not left the property here. this is his private club here in west palm beach. to give you an idea, we'll walk over this way to show you the three to four dozen folks that have gathered here so far today. if you are looking in that direction, that is west palm beach and this is the bridgeway between west palm beach and palm beach where his private club is at. and we were talking to folks here. they were promoting this on social media. and you can see it is far from a mass protest with which one woman called it more of a party atmosphere. but of course donald trump has yet to be indicted at this point. and that is where -- i was

talking with an ally of donald trump over the phone and the way he put it to me is that donald trump does not want to be indicted. it is not a good look to ever fall under the hands of law enforcement here. at the same time, two things can be true at once. donald trump doesn't want to face an indictment or be arrested, but also politically it could be advantageous here at least as part of a republican primary. the ally says whenever other republicans are marching to donald trump's drumbeat, donald trump is winning. and that is where you see ron desantis find himself in the uncomfortable position of being asked whether these potential charges have merit, but also the likes of nikki haley who has been silent the last five days. this is really sort of this moment for this republican party as they square up what is likely going to be months of investigations and also potential criminal proceedings in addition to the new york attorney general civil lawsuit that is expected to have its

case later this fall. there is a lot in store and it is supporters of donald trump who will be paramount to lifting him up as he faces some of these potential head winds. >> vaughn hillyard on a beautiful day in west palm beach. thank you. and now to laura barrett in los angeles where nearly half a million children are sitting home today and i see a lot of activity behind you. talk about this teachers' strike. i know negotiations fell apart last night. what happens now? >> reporter: i'm standing outside the l.a. unified school district headquarters. you can see hundreds of people behind me. these are custodians, bus driver, union workers considered essential workers for the district but they say they have been disrespected and they reached a negotiation stalemate when it comes to wages for the upcoming year. i want to bring in christina here, she is an early education center aid and she is frustrated with the negotiations. what is your message to the

district by being here today? >> we are the pillars of strategic plan and we are building number five that needs to support the staff to invest in the staff and our wellness. but with what is happening, i know mental health of the workers is so much affected. and this is what we need for us to be able to work better with the difficult. we're with l.a. usd and we're worth it. we work for the children. we are always here for the children. and we just want you to listen to us, hear us please, please invest in us, because we're worth it. please support us. >> reporter: their wages on average about $25,000 a year, which is far less than the california minimum wage.

and so that is why they talk about the struggles with mental health, making ends meet as they are just coming to work every day. the district has offered a 23% increase in their wages but the union is looking for closer to 30%. and the walkout is expected to last three days. >> thank you for that. just moments ago in d.c., president biden announced that he is setting aside more than 500,000 acres of public land for two new national monuments. allie raffa is at the white house for us. what are the details here? >> reporter: yeah, president biden speaking at the interior department just a few blocks from here at the white house announcing the creation of two new national monuments as well as a marine sanctuary in u.s. waters off the coast of hawaii, first of those monuments in nevada will honor a sacred native america tribal site and in el paso, that will protect historic cultural and scientific

objects found there and also honor veterans as the site served as an army training area during not only world war ii but also the korean and vietnam wars. listen to a piece of the speech where he talks about how important it is to conserve these sites. >> our country's natural treasures define our identity as a nation. they are a birth right that we have to pass down. they unite us. that is why our conservation work is so important, provides a bridge to our past and to our future. not just for today, but for all ages. >> reporter: it is worth noting that the president is making good on some of the commitments that he has made since being elected as he still faces backlash over breaking a 2020 campaign pronl he made for no new federal drilling on federal

lands. of course activists still very upset after the approval of what is called the willow project, the country's largest oil drilling operation in northeast alaska. it is worth noting that there were protesters outside of this event where the president was protesting that willow project, all of this backlash as the president prepares to announce his re-election bid very soon. >> allie raffa, thank you. now to kyiv where matt bradley is standing by following that mysterious explosion in crimea where ukrainian officials say that it was a russian cache of cruise missiles destroyed overnight. so conflicting reports about what happened. what do we know, who is saying what? >> reporter: yeah, mysterious but not really. a lot of the mystery is a deliberate fog of war. whenever the ukrainians say that they are not actually bombing or

sending drone or missiles into either ukrainian territory or russia proper itself, and we've been seeing this since the beginning of the war where they would report accurately on explosions or mystery attacks going on inside russia, while at the same time distancing themselves. but really there is no mis-friday about what is happening here. we know that the ukrainians almost has to be almost entirely likely that ukrainians have struck within crimea and they have done this before in the past. they don't ever claim responsibility, but they have been getting more assertive about reporting what is going on. and i think that you are seeing on the screen that explosion and it is believed by russian appointed officials that this was done by drones by the ukrainians because -- you probably can't hear on the video, but there is a whirring sound that sounds like the kind of drone that actually russians have been using against ukraine.

now we're starting to see increasingly the ukrainians using that more and more against russian targets. crimea was illegally annexed by the russians all the way back in 2014 long before the latest full-scale envision. president zelenskyy is determined to get that peninsula back. but until then russians have been using it as a massive staging ground. there are bases all around the area that have been used to launch naval boats from ports around there and also missiles, using them to strike civilian targets within ukraine. so all of this is happening as we're seeing at the same time president xi jinping of china visiting vladimir putin. he didn't offer anything, but we're seeing a lot of offers still floating in from nato, from the european union, from the united states still providing ukraine with weapons

that they can use to devastating effect against the russians. >> matt, thank you for that. republicans ramping up their attacks on the manhattan district attorney ahead of a possible indictment for former president trump. one lawmaker wants him thrown in jail. plus a new warning from the cdc about a potentially deadly infection that is spreading across health care facilities and is resistant to drugs. plus an nbc news exclusive, a virginia teacher for the first time describing the moment she sprung into action after being shot by a 6-year-old student. you're watching chris jansing reports. moderate-to-severe eczema. it doesn't care if you have a date,... ...a day off,... ...or a double shift. make your move and get out in front of eczema... with steroid-free cibinqo. not an injection,... cibinqo is a once-daily pill for those who didn't respond to past treatments. and it's proven to help provide clearer skin and relieve itch fast.

right now republicans are waging a scorched earth battle in defense of donald trump and caught in the crosshairs is the prosecutor, alvin bragg. one senator rand paul wants him

in jail. just the latest in a series of preemptive strikes ahead of donald trump's possible indictment. >> the tough part is with a local d.a. playing in presidential politics, don't you think that it will happen across the country? >> george soros backed prosecutor. he can't take the heat so the guy is yielding to the political pressure. >> being from new york, i think that alvin bragg is the most radical d.a. you can ultimately get to. and i want to bring in ryan nobles who covers which i will for us. chuck rosenberg is a former u.s. attorney. and as well as the new york chair of the democratic party and he is with me on set. you know, we've heard the rhetoric, but they are threatening to pull bragg in front of congress. they are talking about taking money from his office so that they can't do what they are supposed to do. we have spent months talking

about how republicans want to get away from this. why pick this fight with alvin bragg? >> actually they are picking this fight because republicans have long picked a fight with alvin bragg. when he got elected a little over a year ago and started serving in office, he ran as a criminal justice reformer. well within his rights, districts attorneys all over the country do the same thing, but at a point in new york city when we're talking about a rise in crime, republicans seized on this to say here is a guy who is not fit for office. and lee zeldin the republican that ran against kathy hochul last year spent a lot of time saying that if he was elected, he would have pulled bragg out of office. can't really do that, but he campaigned on it. so the point is that while this is a new tactic coming from d.c., republicans in new york have been targeting alvin bragg for a long time. >> and bragg's office says they

won't be intimidated, but behind the scenes can these kinds of attacks have an impact? >> not really. i don't worry about that. if there is some defect or flaw in the proceeding, then file a motion in court before the judge. make your argument and produce your evidence. this is politics which is a nice way of saying this is nonsense. if they believe that they have a righteous case and the evidence to support whatever charges they may bring, then bring them, do your talking in court and ignore all the noise. >> what about a potential chilling effect in other places, in other investigations, maybe people who don't have the kind of support or experience that alvin bragg does. he is not the only d.a. they are hearing it in georgia and other places where there are also politically sensitive cases but they may not have the cover

of being in the national news. >> takes good question. so let me tell you how i think about it. i don't worry about professional agents or law enforcement officers. they will come their job and tune out the garbage. what i do worry about are witnesses. when people see what happens to the prosecutors even if they withstand all the scrutiny and screaming, they may be less inclined to come forward to want to testify, to cooperate. in fact i saw that often as a prosecutor, even in cases that gotcha no outside attention, people are sometimes reluctant to testify. and so if the question is can this have some effect on the criminal justice process, i fear the answer is yes. if the question is will alvin bragg or his agents or prosecutors be intimidated, i'm confident the answer is no. >> so let me play a part of the video that donald trump himself

released last night. >> our enemies are desperate to stop us because they know that we are the only ones who can stop them and they know it very strongly. but they are not coming after me, they are coming after you. i'm just standing in their way. >> but we have seen to chuck's point what happens to folks would are not high profile, people who are election officials, maybe it is not violence, maybe it is harassment, maybe they show up at the door of your mother or maybe they instill fear so as we just heard from chuck people don't want to cooperate anymore. >> yeah, even the work that i do on a day to day basis, i am concerned about the effect it has. my address is out there somewhere and i'm concerned about my family. and i have been for some tile.

but we still do the work because it is important work. but to your point, there is a concern about the effect on this broader criminal justice system. alvin bragg is a solid prosecutor, he has been there, he's done that, he's had experience with white collar fraud, he's had experience in the u.s. attorney's office and the a.g.'s office. so he understands not to play this in the press and do a good solid job whether there is an indictment at the end of the day or not. but this is our system and institutions that need to be able to withstand this pressure and that is the concern, can it do that when there are individual people that make up those institutions and then keep them going. >> so let's talk about that pressure, ryan nobles. what is the latest on the hill, what are you hearing, what are they planning? >> i think that it is important to point out that lot of this is theater. playing right into the conversation that you are already having that there isn't really much tangibly that the u.s. congress can do to prevent an indictment from going

forward. they can of course put pressure on, they can send alvin bragg and the manhattan d.a.'s office letter, request that he speak before congress, but there is not anything specifically that they can do to stop it from happening. so what you see is a circling of the wagons particularly house republicans showing their support for donald trump during this difficult legal battle that he faces. and of course this is against the backdrop of the 2024 election and negotiations house republicans are having internally and also with democrats in the united states senate. and it is somewhat frustrating for them, right? we saw it play out in orlando where they wanted to talk about some of the policy issues that they are championing and every question reporters had was about donald trump. the same will happen for the united states senators that will come back into session later today because we'll go and ask them about this particular situation. so no matter what republicans try to do to escape the shadow of donald trump, he continues to

be one of the most important players within the party and that has an impact on their business on a day to day basis. they can't just ignore it, they have to do something because he has such a powerful stranglehold on their base and we see it playing out realtime here in the halls of congress. >> and he is right. because, you know, we can't get rid of this guy. he is constantly making waves. but if we talk about what is happening in congress or what is in individual states with issues like education and health care which are largely state issues, this has a tremendous -- his -- what he is doing has a tremendous impact on policy making at every level of government. and we've got -- if we can't hold him account himccountable,o find a way to exist without his influence. >> thank you all so much. and meantime virginia

there is surprising controversy over the death of 28-year-old irvo otieno after the "washington post" published what it says is surveillance footage of virginia sheriff deputies and medical staff piling on top of him before his death three weeks ago. we want to warn you this is difficult to watch. in footage the "post" says begins about 4:19 p.m. march 6, deputies drag otieno, who you can see is in handcuffs and leg irons, into the admissions room of a state mental health facility. the "post" reports that about 11 minutes later, otieno appears to make a movements and officials bear down on him. up to ten people then hold him down for a total of 11 minutes according to the "post." investigators say the suspect we're told had been combat difference. the "washington post" says they

obtained the video yo from a link in a court document. nbc news does not know how the footage was edited. david henderson, civil rights attorney, is joining me. looking through this, through a prosecutor's lens, what do you see in this video? >> basically what you see is someone who is being put through the intake process of a hospital administration procedure and he ends up being killed by the people supposed to be taking care of him. when you look back at that video from the "washington post," what i notice in the bottom left around corner, you see one of the officers is grabbing a huge clump of his hair and pulling on it, one officer drives a knee into his open hand. officers refer to that as pain compliance to try to get someone to go along with what they are trying to do. but when you are only using pain compliance against someone when their arms and legs are

shackled, it is natural for them to move to resist being hurt or killed. so ultimately i think second-degree murder is a correct charge for the officers and medical staff who participated. >> otieno's family called it inhumane, and they said they want this video public. the defense is arguing against its release. can they argue it has negatively impacted their ability to have a fair jury if it goes to trial? >> that is what they will try to argue. and we've seen that in several high profile cases. basic argument is if it didn't work in the murder of george floyd, anonymous likely that it will work here. it would be to their advantage if the case was moved to another jurisdiction. but the public has a need to know because i'd love to tell you that they aren xhoun, but

uncommon, but they are not. the public needs to see so prevent these deaths and abuse from occurring. >> and from the family's side of this, that otieno was taken to the hospital after a mental health call. and his mother claims that she wasn't allowed to see him, that he was not given his medication. how could that play into all of this? >> that plays into all of this more in terms of what we'll do long term in the prosecution of this specific case. and the reason why i say that is because he is dead for reason that occurred entirely after his arrest. he was arrested as a potential suspect in a possible burglary. and now we know he had challenges with mental health, so he ends up being abused behind bar there is a way that lead to officers placing emergency custody hold on him, accusing him of assaulting them and then ultimately we have what

we see on video here where he is killed but all of this was completely unnecessary and we know looking back that the authorities simply failed to properly interpret what was going on with his mental health and they interpreted it as violence and killed him for it unnecessarily. this was all completely preventable. >> david henderson, thank you. and you will stick around. but first we want to talk about a potentially deadly new fungus that is spreading through health care facilities. what you need to know and why the cdc is warning americans about it. plus an nbc news exclusive, a virginia teacher describes the terrifying moments she was shot by a 6-year-old in her classroom. ♪ ♪ [ cat purrs ] [ phone vibrates ] introducing astepro allergy. steroid-free allergy relief that starts working in 30 minutes, while other allergy sprays take hours. now with astepro fast allergy relief, [ spray, spray ] you can astepro and go.

across the u.s. joining me now, senior medical correspondent dr. john torres. what is this thing and who is at risk? >> first and foremost, this is not a last of us type situation. we won't see armageddon. but this is something that is growing at an alarming rate here in the u.s. and in 2016, which is the first time we heard about this, 53 cases in the u.s. now it is up to almost 1500 cases which might not seem like much, but that exan exponential spread. and it is a global issue as well. and also drug resistant. so we'll start running out of tools to street it. and that is one of the biggest concerns. >> 95% jump in 2021. even though as you say the numbers are comparatively small. it is making a lot of people not just think of the last of us, but also of covid because it really looks like it is targeting vulnerable

populations. we saw that with covid, we saw people in nursing homes, in assisted living. if you have family members who areocompromisedimmunocompromise should you know? >> the cdc cites a study and authors say that they think one of the reasons this is happening, and again, if you have a healthy immune system, not a concern to you. but it is those whose systems are compromised, usually in long term care facilities, they have invasive procedures, meaning ivs, they are on a ventilator. and they say because of the covid pandemic a lot of the measures taken for covid are measures that are directly against what needs to be done for the fungus. and a lot of times because they are running out of material, they are using gowns throughout the whole day, the same mask for multiple days. they weren't cleaning as much in between patients. and so those are things that need to be done. every time somebody is in with a patient, they should put on a

new gown, gloves and mask before the next patient. so if you have a loved one, ask what are you doing. we're winding the pandemic down, but what are you doing now to make sure that this fungus infection is not infecting them. how are you keeping things clean. >> is it drug resistant, is it also resistant to the usual cleaning materials? >> no, it is not resistant to cleaning materials but it is resistant to the anti-fungal medicines that we use. they are hard to treat once they take a foothold in the body. what they are starting to see is what they call pan-resistance, they are resistance to all the anti-fungals and that is when it causes an issue. and if you look at the mortality rate, 30% to 72%, a huge mortality rate. and those are the ones that are probably in the drug resistant

category. >> why? >> here is what we think is happening. this type of fungus hasn't really affected us up until thousand. we first started hearing about in the '90s. and we think what is happening is that this fungus normally can't live at the temperature inside our body. it lives at cooler temperatures. and so our temperature of 98.6 was keeping it at bay. but we think because of climate warming that the fungus is adapting to warmer temperatures which means that it can colonize in our bodies. >> you have got to be kidding me. >> no, this is what they are thinking. and as the climate warms, this could be a bigger issue. >> and so if you have someone in your household who is immunocompromised, less likely than if you were in a nursing home, but what can you do to make sure that person -- >> one thing you want to do is kind of the standard things. a lot of hand washing. major sure before you do

anything with them that you have cleaned your hands and wash your hands especially if you have been out and about especially if you have been visiting grandma or grandpa at a long term care facility. i'd go to the care facility, come back home and take a shower. change my clothes, wash those clothes, put something else on if somebody in my house is at high risk just to keep it at bay. >> something that lot of folks did at the beginning of the covid crisis. dr. torres thank you, i think. for the first time, we're hearing details from the first grade teacher who was shot by a 6-year-old in a virginia classroom earlier this year. all about that horrifying moment and what is next. 25-year-old abby zwerner sat down with savannah guthrie. >> i asked you about the wounds that we can see. there are wounds that we can't see. >> yes. >> how are you doing? >> at first it really shook me up. they were open wounds that i

could see and seeing an open wound on your body and remembering how you got it is pretty traumatizing in itself. i think that it has been helpful now that they have scarred over. but it is still a reminder that, hey, this happened to you. this is what your body has been through. >> and everything about this is so unfavorable. i wonder what you think or how do you feel about this student. >> you know, there is some things that i'll never forget. and i just will never forget the look on his face that he gave me while he pointed the gun directly at me. that is something that i will never forget. it has changed me. it has changed my life. >> reporter: and her attorney filed a notice of intent to sue the school administrators saying

they failed to take action after they had three warnings that the boy had a gun with him. >> and there have been many failures and there are multiple people responsible for those failures. >> do you feel like you could have been better protected by the school? >> yes. >> you feel like they should have done more? >> yes. >> the prosecutor announced that there would not be criminal charges against the 6-year-old boy. do you have an opinion about that decision? >> i'm not going to weigh into the prosecutor's decision. but i am following very closely the newport news prosecutor to see what they do in this case and who they do charge ultimately if they charge anybody. >> when you think about everything that has happened and what happened to you, what does justice mean to you in this case? >> that is a tough question to answer. >> diane, for you? >> that is very tough to answer. my job is to hold those

accountable that i can hold accountable and i'm going to do that. abby will have to deal with this her entire life physically and emotionally. >> a spokesperson for the schools did not immediately respond for request for comment but previously said that the district could not comment about allegations made against school officials amid an ongoing internal investigation. nor share any information in the student's educational record citing the criminal investigation. david henderson is back with us. what will you watch for when this lawsuit gets filed in a couple of weeks? >> i'm really going to watch to see what the legal theory supporting the claims is and i say that because, and keep in mind, you are talking to someone who is an svu prosecutor and basically a farmer children's lawyer. this is a case where you think surely someone can be sued.rmer lawyer. this is a case where you think surely someone can be sued.orme lawyer. this is a case where you think surely someone can be sued. but then when you ask what do you charge them with, those
